Ever
wonder how someone could be freezing to death when you're sitting there sweating
bullets?
According
to Vicki Rackner, M.D. and author, there are a number of factors that can cause
one person to feel warmer or colder than the person right next to them.
These
factors include weight, fitness, diet, gender (women are prone to have lower body
temperatures then men), age and stress.
If
you know someone who's always cold and who bundles up in layers in eighty degree
weather, here's some great gift ideas to keep them warm all year long:
Irish
Walking Cape
The
traditional Irish walking cape buttons only at the neck, while the rest wraps,
drapes and flows. Although it is a loose fitting garment, it effectively keeps
out cold and is made primarily of a blend of wool. Purchase one of these distinctive
coats online for around two hundred and fifty dollars.
Battery
Heated Socks
Yes,
there is such a thing as battery powered socks that will keep your recipient's
feet warm and happy all day long. Many department and sporting good stores carry
these ingenious items. It's an inexpensive gift costing less than thirty dollars.
Heated
Lotion Dispenser
These
awesome little gadgets keep lotions and oils at a comfortable temperature. They
heat up quickly and cost very little to operate. You can find these at Target
or Wal-Mart stores nationwide for twenty five dollars.
Flannel
Sheets
People
hate to admit it, but they love flannel sheets! They aren't romantic, but they
are very practical on cold, blustery nights. L.L. Bean has a great selection of
ultra soft flannel bedding ensembles. A single sheet usually costs somewhere in
the ballpark of thirty dollars.
Heated
Towel Rack
With
a heated towel rack, your recipient can enjoy wrapping up in sumptuously warm
towels at the end of every bath or shower. These heated units supposedly use less
energy than a single light bulb, and drying damp towels saves on laundering and
wear-and-tear. They plug into an ordinary wall outlet and are designed to run
safely and economically 24-hours a day. This is considered a luxury item and a
good one will cost around two hundred dollars online.
Gift
Certificate to a Health Food Store
Research
has shown that people who do not consume enough protein, vegetables, vitamins,
minerals and other essential nutrients for an optimal metabolism could find themselves
feeling cold more often than not. So, a gift certificate for that colder someone
might help to regulate their body temperature.
When
temperatures topple and colder weather sets in, no present is more appreciated
than one that chases the chills away. Options for giving the gift of warmth abound.
But no matter what you choose, you can have peace of mind that it is a gift that
will bring comfort and happiness to always cold friends and loved ones.
